does microsoft support speech recognition for british english for voice
command or dictation? It appears that it does not, but I want to confirm.

I found a link that suggested the following:
This feature is available in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese,
English (U.S.), and Japanese language

Hi ?B?ZGVubnk=?=,

No, it does not. MS built in the "socket" for speech recognition, and
provided the tools for the three languages you mention. The idea is that
other software companies who specialize in this kind of program could use
that to "plug-in" their tools into Office. So far, I haven't heard that any
have done so...
